Musk Promotes Radicalization Narratives
A Series On Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
Elon Musk directly runs psychological operations openly on X, no longer really needing intermediaries, just doing so himself.
Musk is racist, exposes anti-Democracy ideologies, pushes conspiracy content his allies create and/or curate, engages in stochastic terrorism and most importantly, defrauded Twitter investors out of at minimum, hundreds of millions of dollars when he amplified Tom Fitton and Project Veritas’s illegal recording of two Twitter engineers catfished on dates resulting in people selling off held stock at a loss.
Here is QAnon-level stufF Elon posted recently, amplifying a video of a Russian ‘defector’ during his efforts to spread the nonsensical Nazi narrative of their being a thing called the woke mind virus,.
The Nazist Woke Mind Virus narrative is meant to disparage and demonize compassion, concern, kindness in an effort to radicalize users of X making acting humane socially bad. Musk wants Americans to fight. He wants violence. He wants anger. All of that is based on a hope to gain wealth, influence and power off the chaos.
The wealth is generated by selling surveillance tech to governments and police departments. The influence is baked in to having control of X and his allies YouTube, Linked-In, Meta along with an extensive network of media operatives both mainstream and social media. Power though is the most problematic as that happens when the men at the top working to subvert capture control of governmental institutions.
No one should allow that last one to happen, doing as much to be vocal and active politically at the local level.
Cryptocurrency is one potential means of gaining control as that subverts government finances while sucking up capital that would otherwise be used driving investments in other things. As of today joint investment is more than one tenth of the total USD listed in circulation above.
Next we have Musk sharing racist iconography in a weaponized meme encouraging violence.
Pepe the Frog is an antisemitic hate icon, and ‘Frens’ a term identifying those that share the racist ideologies. Both the term and images originated within Chan-cultures where Nazi OpEd writer Fred Brennan metastasized a deeply abusive GamerGate cult, first on WizardChan then on 8Chan. Fred maintained operational control of his servers living in the Philippines working for Jim Watkins doing so up until GG/QAnon successfully inspired a live-streamed mass shooting in El Paso.
Elon wants to revive Fred’s work, doing so this time on X, hence his ample sharing of Wojak and Pepe images along with racist, genocidal and murder memes.
In order to keep a base of users eyeballs glued to a radicalization engine, Elon must convince people that all he and his allies are doing to manipulate the public is totally normal, not dangerously crazy. Here Elon promotes normalcy for a man MAGA3x will more openly weaponize, an ex-Felon best known for raiding the US Capitol January 6th armed with a spear.
We’ll end with this lie from Musk.
